WBTV Weather application. This is a very disappointing app. It only gives me 10 seconds and then it locks up. However,I do use it for current radar information.
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Severe Thunderstorms. My favorite is telling you there is a severe thunderstorm and to take cover but then make you watch ads before you can see the affected area. Good times.
★★★★★alerts fail both ways - silent on a real threat, screaming over nothing - so the user mutes…
Alerts with storm overlay?. Did you get rid of the ability to look at alerts (like a tornado warning) overlapping the radar? It seems I now have to choose between either viewing alerts or the storm systems themselves with no option to do both at the same time. Really hoping this is a user error and if so, let me know so I can change my review.

App crashing. I never used to have a problem with your app But now it never hardly works. It is always crashing and never displays the temperature or anything like that even when I’m changing locations and reinstall your app you need to fix your application. It used to work now. It does not work anymore.

Ads Galore. Ridiculous amount of ads on the app. Deleted immediately after downloading it.

Weather App. For a long time, there has been a problem with the app. When you try to look at the daily, weekly, etc on the home page, it jumps to another page. I tried it on another person’s phone, & it did the same thing. I contacted someone at WBTV a long time ago, but it is still doing the same thing. I have been forced to use another app besides the WBTV app because of this. I really wish this could be corrected. That is why I gave only one star. Otherwise I probably would have given 5 stars.

Remove ads for accessing critical weather updates. Whenever there is a tornado warning, you are made to watch an advertisement BEFORE being able to access or get critical updates on the timing of the tornado.
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Too many ads. I’m all for supporting local media but this app has too many ads that interrupt you while you are scrolling for what you are looking for.

All it is is advertisement. They claim that they predict weather the best this is garbage, is this best they can do, they need to look at other weather web apps

Not a good app. This app is awful! Don’t waste your time!

No widget on ios. No widget for ios. I came from android and their widget was amazing.
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Ads!. Too many ads popping up!

Useless. Just an ego trip. Useless just a bunch of commercials and useless video. Expected to see weather where I am

Really bad app. Used to be good. WBT needs to learn how to keep their hands off pf something that works. Do yourself a favor and get something else. At this moment I am riding the a thunderstorm and no clouds on radar. Permanent deletion. Y’all can go screw yourselves, don’t do it to me.
★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data
What a HORRIBLE app.. The weather is inaccurate like there’s no thunderstorms in my area and you app says there is (yes I know what the word scattered means) but what if there’s a tornado and it just says tornado watch?

Want to leave weather.com. I so badly want to leave weather.com but when you open this app to a car ad (any ad) making you wait 20-30 seconds before showing the weather… You not only lost my interest but added an immediate uninstall!

Commercials. All I got was a bojangles commercial!

Review of WEATHER REPORT. There are so many commercials I never get to the weather report. I hate it.

Useless. Having ads in this app makes it useless. Surely WBTV doesn’t need to sell the ad space to cover the expense of main thing this app. I’ve always watched WBTV News but this “business decision” has got me to question their priorities. Very disappointed

Subaru. The fact that the Subaru add lasts so long when you open the app, makes me not want to ever get a Subaru. It makes Subaru = frustration. If it was a 2 second add, it would make a world of difference
★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Review. Too many ads when I’m trying to find something. I didn’t download your app to look at ads

Radar is wrong. This app is just all kinds of wrong about the weather it was better back in the day when they just guessed and now they still can’t get any closer than 45% this is pathetic

Not Good. Many times App shows a blank screen during electrical storms. Have used this App for over 5 years but lately it just doesn’t work properly. Sorry but that’s my honest review ☹️

Weather. The graphics on the other map were much better.I don’t like the dark,drab, colors on this one.

Terrible. Raining in my area but radar doesn’t show...

Emergency Notifications are really just ads. My issue is the emergency notifications. Twice now on separate days, I’ve received a tornado warning alert. I click on the link (as directed) and it shows a TINY map with an arrow pointing to the area. FOR 3 SECONDS OR LESS! Then it immediately goes to an ad! There’s not enough time to even focus on the map, much less know where the arrow is pointing! This is supposed to warn me of a potential deadly weather event, and I’ve got a split second to focus before I get a 20 second stream of ads? Really? Come on y’all, you can do better! This is unacceptable!

Stop showing ads in weather emergencies!!!!. Tornado warning issued in my area and we can’t get to the warning or video to see what’s happening for having to sit through an ad.
★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Skip the ads when there is dangerous weather. I find the app SO frustrating. When advance warning is everything for safety in a severe weather situation, that there is first an ADVERTISEMENT and then just a radar WITH NO TRACK or TIMING doesn't give me much information (or confidence) in this app.

Tornado warning. Kept receiving alerts for tornado warnings. I can’t belive I had to sit through an ad before I could find out if a tornado was heading towards me ! Deleting
